The Graphics Version

Have problems printing with the supplied PDFs because of their printers (or cranky Acrobat settings).

Want to use a different layout programs, such as Freehand, Illustrator, CorelDRAW or OpenOffice.org Draw.

Use Avery perforated forms, or similar, and want to paste the D*I*Y templates into their regular layout program.

Use different paper sizes and want to arrange the templates to make the best use of space.

Want to make minor modifications to the templates such as changing colours, titles, spacings or supplied text.

As this covers quite a number of possibilities and setups, they cannot all be covered here. What we can recommend is to try layouts using the free OpenOffice.org Draw (you can put a different card on each 'slide') and graphics manipulation using the free application The Gimp. The D*I*Y planner uses the free font named Blue Highway.

For those who are curious about such things, the file format used is 8-bit PNG, and should work well with almost any modern bitmap graphic application.
